Point of sale programs uses sql database and runs well with 2005 wrkgrp but lags with 2008 r2. scanning a barcode into an invoice can take up to 10 or 15 seconds w/ 2008 r2 but is almost instantaneous with 2005.
Server has an asus p7f-x with a built in intel 5 series/3400 sata controller, intel core i7-870 processor, 8 gigs of mem, 4 wd 500 gig drives, running win server 2008 r2 std
server runs great except for the pos application (positive retail manager)
have changed out all hardware and reinstalled os several times, tried raid 10, 1, 0 and ahci and performance is always the same.
is any one aware of a chip set conflict with sql 2008r2 wrkgrp and intel controller?
pos application is not very processor intensive speed is more a function of disk access.
Thanks Tony

- Are you sure that all indices in 2005 are there in 2008 R2 ?
- Did you update statistics ?\
- Can you compare the execution plan ?
- What are the resources (memory/processor) available for both instances ?

Thanks for the reply.
I don't know if the indices in 2005 are in 2008. The point of sale app. has a utility that creates indices and I have run that in both cases, but don't know how that compares.
I have not updated statistics... don't know how, but I will look into that.
The execution plan I believe is comparable. I built this server for a liquor store and the performance has been poor from the beginning. To trouble shoot I used my (I own a liquor store also) database and pos app (our pos apps are the same version) on the server and it ran poorly with sql 2008 r2.
The server in question has an asus P7f-x mainboard, 8 gigs of samsung mem., an intel i7 - 870 , with 4 500 gig west. dig. hard drives... i've normally run the drives for a system like this using raid 10 (striping and mirroring)... but have tried every other combo avail with this board and the results are always the same.
I run my small store on a msi g41m mainboard, intel e5200 2.5 dual core, 2 gig mem and a wd 320 gig hd using sql 2005 wkgrp.
That config out performs my same pos app and database on this new server if I use sql 2008 r2 on the new server.
I know I didn't answer all your questions but does this info help any.
Thanks Tony

Can you execute the query in below link against both databases to list all indices
